CEBU CITY, Philippines, March 12, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Opposition presidential candidate Panfilo Lacson’s support for a population-control program incorporating artificial birth control has earned him the reproof of Cebu Archbishop Ricardo Cardinal Vidal. Lacson was touring the island-province, part of the Visayas region south-east of Manila, where he was once metropolitan district commander.
Cardinal Vidal told reporters that he cautioned Lacson to remain pro-life. “I told him [Lacson] ‘You should be pro-life, otherwise…,’” he said. Lacson told reporters that he loathes abortion, and would never dream of resorting to such an immoral and illegal means for addressing the population-control program. “Of course, I’m against abortion because that’s not only illegal, that’s against the law of God. I believe that there’s a way to contain the population boom without resorting to violations, moral or legal,” he said.
The 1974 “NSSM 200: blueprint for de-population,” a secret (declassified) US executive-level document, reveals the de-population agenda the US committed to promote in 13 countries—including the Philippines—for the express purpose of maintaining the uninterrupted flow of natural resources from these regions to the US. The Interim review of the document revealed the intentions of the policy: “The study advised that civil disturbances affecting the ‘smooth flow of needed materials’ would be less likely to occur ‘under conditions of slow or zero population growth.’” Key to the success of this program was the utilization of propaganda such as is disseminated through UN agencies on the advantages of zero population growth.
